“Laura, wait” I hear Daisy call out as I leave the room.
“Yes?” I turn around and ask
“Come with me. I’ll tell you the truth” she says and pulls me by my wrist behind her.
“Thanks Doctor” I say looking back at him while trying to keep up with Daisy.
“Laura, love. Sit down” she says as we enter a large room. I obey and sit on the cushion.
“Are you from earth?” I ask finally
“No Laura. I’m the queen here” she says
“Why are you my aunt then? And who is the woman you told as my mother” I ask
“Your mom and I have been the best of friends and just like you, your mom travelled here earlier. We’ve been great friends since then” she says
“When can I return?” I ask
“There something you need to know before that” she says in a soft tone.
“What is it?” I ask curious
“You can’t trust anyone here. Especially Nella”
“Why? Don’t you both belong to this place?” I question ba
“Laura, have you got everything ready?” Daisy asks grabbing my attention.“Yes, I have” I say looking blank at her“Did something happen, love?” she questions me concerned‘Should I tell her about the voice in my dream?’ I think ‘No, definitely not' my brain responds‘But we need to tell someone so we can figure it out' my heart replies‘But I don’t think that person is her' my gut speaks up.“Its nothing Daisy. Let’s go” I say and hold the door open for her.“I hope everything will go well” she whispers smiling at me.“It will Daisy” I reply. She stares at me for a second and I wonder what did I do wrong. “It will, Queen” I say again and she smiles“Stay here, Laura” she says and walks out of the door while I remain back stage. She approaches the podium and gets onto it adjusting the
'Is anyone here?’ I ask into the darkness but get no reply in return. ‘Its so lame' my brain comments and I feel it too. After minutes of silence and feeling stupid, I open my eyes. ‘It was just a dream' I announce loud banging my hands on the bed. ‘What’s this?’ I ask circling a rectangular figure impression that was formed on the pillow cover. I put my hand into the cover and take out the flexible paper. ‘It’s a card' I declare; it read Dr.Argon Smith Neurologist Millington Speciality Hospital Ph: xxxxx xxxxx M: xxxxx xxxxx ‘What is this card doing in my pillow cover?’ I wonder ‘Do I know him?’ ‘Maybe I do' ‘And maybe he can help me with my memory' ‘Yeah, let’s call him maybe' ‘Nah, let’s visit him. ‘I’ll even get to see who he is' I retaliate and speak to myself in a mixed to
“I would love to Laura but not now” he rotates hid index finger a 360° “and not here” he smiles“Hey. I won’t go on a date with you until I regain all of my memory” I point out standing up and he looks at me furrowing his eyebrows“Fair enough. Laura” he chuckles and stands up “Let’s have lunch together now” he winks“I already had my lunch” I lie“Well it wouldn’t hurt to eat again” he walks around the table and sits on the other consulting chair “What do you want to eat?” He asks“Something edible” I comment and stare at him“Its definitely going to be edible” he whispers and presses the 0 on the landline to make an appointment.“They have good job service here” I say when he finally keeps back the handset.“Well, but only Elite people can benefit fro
“You’re awake?” I hear Argon as I sit up. He had covered me with a blanket so I could rest well.“I am” I smile.It felt good meeting that sweet girl; it felt as if I met a tiny part of me in her.“How is your headache now?” he asks standing up from his desk chair and walking towards me.“Its gone now” I say after examining myself.“That’s good” he sighs and sits beside me.“ummm” I just humm“What happen?” he asks“Huh?” I look at him confused.“You're lost. What’s going on in your head?” he questions me with genuine eyes.“Ah, its nothing” I say tapping my hands on my knees “I'll get going Argon” I say and stand up.Suddenly I feel myself fall back; he grabbed my hand to make me sit back but I accidently sat on his lap and not the couch due
“How is she Dr. Marshall?” I ask after he finished examining the person everyone told was my mother. “She’s still the same, Dear” he says closing the medical file “Although her reading are stable we can’t really say what’s stopping her from waking up” he says. I nod understanding. “Argon wants you to go to this address” Dr. Marshall; father of Argon hands me a folded slip. Argon is my potential boyfriend. He’s been visiting me every two days ever since I visited his hospital. “Thanks doctor” I say and he furrows his brows. I realise my mistake “Mr. Marshall” I readdress him the way he told me to. He smiles and walks out of the room. I sit on the couch and look at mother “Are you really my mom?” I ask again hoping she’ll wake up and answer me but as always I get disappointed. I unfold the paper and read it Delight Hotel @ 5 pm, I’ll pick you up!
“We’re here” he announces stopping the car at a corner and my watch struck 5.49 pm, he still held my hand as he parked the car. “Laura, let’s take a picture” he says and I neglect him “Please” he requests and I still don’t answer “Alright, I’m sorry. What did you want to speak about?” he asks finally I turn to him making up my mind “Argon will you still like me even if I don’t belong here?” “I’m not catching up, love” he says confused “Would you leave me if I don’t belong to Bazoda?” I ask preparing myself to whatever comes next. “You are you, no matter which planet you belong to Laura and that would not affect how I feel about you” he says caressing my palm. I smile back feeling bubbles in the air “So where are we?” I ask looking around at the view. “It’s a party and I want to introduce you to some important people” he says, adjusting himself on the chair. “Why would you do that?” I ask dazzled
I try to see the caller but my blury eyes makes it hard, I drop my head back down“Laura, what’s wrong?” Argon questions approaching me and I look at him and smile. He sits on the pavement beside me quietly.“Sis, what are you doing here?” I see a young girl rush and kneel down in front of me. She grabs my arms“Who are you?” Argon speaks before I could“What are you doing here sis and who is he?” the girl questions me ignoring Argon. She looked so familiar as though she was a relative of mine and she kept calling me sister.“Have we met earlier?” I ask erecting my posture. My vision was clear and head wasn’t hurting any longer. It was as though someone was controlling my headache as it disappeared instantly.She falls back and crosses her legs on the floor “Are you serious?” she questions wide eyed.“Miss. I’m sorry but we have
“I have to leave Laura. Be safe and keep me updated” Argon says as he brings th car to a halt.“Sure Argon. Thanks for today” I smile, he was being so kind letting me bring along a stranger named Jessica “Drive safe” I say closing the door and wage he a good bye.“Sis, let’s go meet Nella first” Jessica calls out almost jerking me.“But…” I hesitate for a second but nod later “I’ll take you”We walk through the guard who recognises me and lets us enter. We slowly walk into the garden, then the back entrance and finally reach the basements entrance.“Why do you what to meet Nella?” I ask as we walk down the stairs“I need to know what’s wrong with you and I’m sure she will help” She says looking ahead. I open the large wooden door with a creak and we slip inside. I close the door behind us.“F
